Salt Lake City to Denver Aboard Canyon Spirit
Travel by luxury train from Salt Lake City through the red rock formations of Moab in America's Southwest to the mile-high city of Denver. Oversized windows and glass-domed coaches allow you to relax and soak in the magnificent scenery that includes colorful deserts, natural archways and bewitching hoodoos. As the Canyon Spirit train winds past ancient rock canyons, through mountain ranges and alongside rivers, watch for wildlife like bighorn sheep, bears, mountain lions, deer and marmots. Entertaining stories from onboard hosts and comfortable travel combine with locally inspired cuisine to make this an unforgettable adventure. Off the train, enjoy nature with guided tours of Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park.
